Yoeun's Group

This group loan consists of six members who live in Tep Archun village in Kandal province.

Mrs. Yoeun S., born in 1967, is the group leader. She was selected to be the group leader by the other members. She and her husband, Mr. Long Sitha, are farmers. They own a plot of land on which they grow different vegetables to support the family. The farming does not produce enough money to support it. Thus, Mrs. Yoeun S. would like to ask for a loan to pay to hire farm laborers, and to buy fertilizers, pesticides, and gasoline for growing crops.
This couple has two children. One is a vegetable transporter and one is attending a local school.

This is a Group Loan

In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.

Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
